To celebrate our partnership with Te Papa, Wellington city residents will be eligible for free entry to the Wonderland exhibition on 27 Feb 2020, 10am-9pm.
Tickets can only be obtained on the day and must be picked up in person at Te Papa. You may queue on the day and collect tickets for sessions later in the day. Evening and afternoon sessions are expected to fill up quickly. Sessions are limited to 130 people per half hour session, with the last session entry time at 8pm. There will be no pre-booking online.
Who is eligible?
The event is open to Wellington City residents to acknowledge Council's support of Te Papa. Residents living in rental properties are also eligible for free entry. Hutt and Porirua residents are not eligible for a free ticket as they do not pay their rates to the Wellington City Council. Check out this map (PDF 340KB) for all the ward boundaries.
